Editor's Notes
- #3: Lets start with a picture which is not lean
- #5: LEAN startup reduces the input required. It allows you to fail faster having spent less money and wasted less time
- #9: There are two key assumptions you will have made. One is around the value proposition – your product is wanted by the customer.
- #12: You must collect hard data (downloads, unique visitors, dwell time, signup rate etc). Use the data to ask intelligent questions of customers for a subjective view on your data – this may answer the why question All data must be put in context of business results – does this data help us prove we can make money out of this
